Microblading
Microblading is a technique which involves Hand-Drawing lacerations or fine cuts, with needles being dragged across the skin. It uses a super-fine pen (technically, a bundle of 12 to 15 needles) to deposit pigment into the skin, the procedure then creates fine lines. When this cut heals, if done correctly, it creates a thin, crisp line that mimics the natural look and texture of hair. Due to the nature of pigment insertion, a lot of pigments cannot be forced into the skin/dermis. This, therfore, leads to a shorter lifespan than more traditional tattooing methods, on average, 6–18 months. Iron oxides pigments are preferred by the microblading artists over organic pigments because they are lightweight, compared to the organic pigments. They are easy to insert into the skin with a microblading pen. Iron oxide is a harmless ink and non-toxic.
